We prove that the asymptotic stability, also known as the weak mixing, is equivalent to a lower bound condition together with the eventual continuity. The latter is a form of weak regularity for Markov–Feller semigroups that generalizes the e-property. Additionally, we provide an example of an asymptotically stable Markov semigroup with essential randomness that does not satisfy the e-property.
In this paper, we consider the limit behavior of a sequence of deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills metrics
In this work, we construct and study a family of robust nonparametric estimators for a regression function based on kernel methods. The data are functional, independent and identically distributed, and are linked to a single-index model. Under general conditions, we establish the pointwise and uniform almost complete convergence, as well as the asymptotic normality of the estimator. We explicitly derive the asymptotic variance and, as a result, provide confidence bands for the theoretical parameter. A simulation study is conducted to illustrate the proposed methodology.
We consider the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation
Global well-posedness of 2D inviscid Boussinesq equations is unsolved. In the present work, we find that if this inviscid hydrodynamics equation is perturbed by noise, the global well-posedness holds in high probability with initial data satisfies a certain Gevrey-type bound. Moreover, the unique global solution to the stochastic inviscid 2D Boussinesq equation is bounded by the initial data.
The promotion time or non-mixture cure model is a popular tool for analyzing failure time data with a cured fraction and its usefulness in survival analysis has been well recognized. Although a number of inference procedures under this model have been proposed for univariate interval-censored data, corresponding estimation methods under multivariate interval censoring are still undeveloped because of the challenges in maximizing the observed data likelihood function with complex form. In this paper, we investigate the inference procedure for a class of generalized promotion time cure models, namely transformation cure rate frailty models, with multivariate interval-censored data. The class of models is quite flexible and general and includes the proportional hazards and proportional odds cure rate frailty models as special cases. An expectation-maximization algorithm is developed to calculate the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators, and the asymptotic properties of the obtained estimators are derived with the empirical process techniques. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the reliable and satisfactory empirical performance of the proposed method. It is then applied to a set of sexually transmitted infection data arising from an epidemiological study for illustration.
This paper is concerned with testing the equality of two high-dimensional Pearson correlation matrices without any structural assumption under normal populations. A U-statistic based on the Frobenius norm of the difference between two transformational correlation matrices is proposed for testing the equality of two correlation matrices when both sample sizes and dimension tend to infinity. And the asymptotic normality of the proposed testing statistic is also derived under the null and alternative hypotheses. Moreover, the asymptotic power function is also presented. Simulation studies show that the proposed test performs very well in a wide range of settings and can be allowed for the case of large dimensions and small sample sizes.
A new class of criteria for optimal designs in random coefficient regression (RCR) models with r responses is presented, which is based on the integrated mean squared error (IMSE) for the prediction of random effects. This class, referred to as
This paper approaches the smoothness of the optimal transport map on Riemannian products manifolds. By classical continuity method, we give an alternative proof of the smoothness of the optimal transport map on Riemannian products of the round spheres. In addition, we also prove that the smoothness of the optimal transport map is not stable in Riemannian products of round spheres.
